[amsat-bb] BIRDS-2 Packet digipeater

[Frank G]

Hi Roy,

Im using the Sound Modem by UZ7HO and UISS vers 5.4 that I used on ISS passes and can monitor local APRS traffic.
Antenna is dual band Jetstream fixed at 25 deg elevation on AZ rotor. Setup works great on all the linear and FM sats but wanted to try something new.

Thanks

My D72/Elk was able to decode a few packets from each of the
callsigns, but not display them as they appear to be non-standard APRS
format (like the PSAT beacons).


The ISS packets were very strong compared to these, so that could be
one reason.   What antenna/transceiver/tnc are you using?

Wondering if its just me or does it seem like the deviation is low on these
